Winter tire fitment on g37s

I recently found some studded Hakka's for a good deal. They're 235/55 R 19 do you think they'll fit on the stock 19" coup rims ? Thanks in advance

They'll fit the wheel but will be about 2.5" taller or over 9% difference, from all I've read about 3% off is the most you should be for your VDC & ABS to function properly, but there may be higher limits there???

Ah good point, I'll probably get some LM-25 Blizzak225/50-18 and hope I can find an 18" rim that fits

18" fell through would 245/45r19 fit on the sport rims or should I suck it up and just buy new tires ?

Those will be better than the previous size you were wanting, about an inch taller, and about 3.5% difference. A set of dedicated 18s w/ narrower tires (like a 225/50/18) would be ideal though.

If they're 3.5% isnt that still to big I thought 3% was max for RWD cars

It's taller than I'd recommend, better than what was previously listed, and falls into that "gray" area. TBH I'd just keep looking, or go new w/ the size that's much closer to OEM.
